Add the butter to a pan over medium high heat and let it melt down.
Place the mushrooms in and allow them to cook down for a few minutes.
After the mushrooms are browned, add in the onions, garlic, and thyme. Stir and saute until the garlic is fragrant and the onions are translucent.
If it looks a bit dry, add in a little more butter.Place the spinach in and cook until it begins to wilt.
